In my Windows 7 i had installed .net and so IIS was running and therefore it was normally using up the port 80 and therefore any other trying to work on port 80 was rejected.
I had this issue while I tried to restart Apache server from xampp it was always giving error saying access to the port was denied.

To avoid this issue I had to search the web every time i open up xampp. To fix this problem i have decided to write up this blog post that covers the solution of the issue:

Problems running XAMPP while running IIS. If you are running IIS it might be worth stopping the service then starting XAMPP.

If you just want to make Apache run an don't mind which port it is running on, do the following:

1. In the XAMPP Control Panel, click on the Apache - 'Config' button which is located next to the 'Logs' button.
